摘要: Ground-based biomass measurements, systematic aerial reconnaissance and NOAA AVHRR Landsat data were used to define the geographic limits of dry season pasture in southern part pastoral zone Niger. This pasture, referred as habitat, was such overwhelming importance well-being system that it could be sample frame for a meso-scale drought early warning system. Normalized rainfall departures 1957 1987 from multiple sites habitat inferred common perceptions recent interannual climatic variations Niger their impacts on economy.
